How we handle regrouting in Balcombe Lane
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with good tiles let down by tired grout and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, on shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Balcombe Lane, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Balcombe Lane as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Balcombe Lane, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in

What regrouting looks like in Balcombe Lane
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Balcombe CofE Controlled Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Your questions about regrouting in Balcombe Lane
Do you cover smaller places like Balcombe Lane?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Balcombe Lane for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Balcombe Lane is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
